Silence Is Golden

We kept our grandsons this weekend while their parents went to Eureka Springs, Ark. for their anniversary. Boys and puppies make for a wild time especially when one of those boys is three years old. I had to keep my eye on both the three year old and the puppy. The noise level was high and Rowdy spent most of the weekend under my bed. He's an old dog afterall. I'm tired but thankful for the time I had with all of them. Today I shall relax and relish the quiet time. Silence is golden.

yes, grandsons are great, but it's nice when they go back to mom and dad :)our oldest grandson turned 3 on Sunday and his Birthday party was Saturday at the park with a ton of other 1-5 year olds....I was happy when the party was over :)

About Me

I am a retired teacher from northeastern Oklahoma who enjoyed every minute of my career. I miss teaching young minds and seeing the light bulbs go on through their eyes, but I have slowly adjusted to the life of retirement. Retirement from teaching not from life.I still have lots to do and things to see and want to contribute as much as I can to those around me. I am married and the mother to two sons, two daughter-in-laws and a nana to four grandchildren. I enjoy being with family and friends, chick flicks, a good book, gardening, cooking occasionally, sweets,music,antiquing,travel and blogging. I love God and my savior, Jesus Christ and feel blessed to live in the United States of America. I've weathered storms and have learned from them. I've also had more blessings than I thought possible. I don't know what's ahead of me but with strength from the Almighty I'm ready for whatever life throws me.
